How to Spot Transmission Troubles
For the signs and symptoms of a bad transmission that need fixing, our technicians suggest looking for a few common indicators. These include a burning smell while driving, difficulty switching gears, slipping gears, unresponsive gear changes, fluid leaks, low transmission fluid levels, clunking sounds, dragging clutch, shaking, odd smells inside the cabin, noises in neutral, delayed acceleration, and poor on-road response from your vehicle. Of course, any of these things can be alarming. Please don’t panic, though, because the Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers team is here to bring your car in for fast, reliable service whenever you need it. We also offer our repairs with a generous NAPA warranty to give you confidence when you leave our care.
Fluid Replacements and Flushes
After the team at Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers gets your transmission repair finished, we invite drivers in New Berlin to give us a chance to maintain their vehicles for many years to come. Specifically, transmission fluid replacements and flushes must happen annually or every couple of years, especially if you are often on the road. When a transmission doesn’t have enough fluids or the levels are too high, this will cause the system to malfunction. Not only can this damage your car, but it can make changing gears impossible while on the road. Regardless, we are here to help, Monday to Friday each week, and we accept walk-ins. To begin with a transmission repair or upkeep service, please call (262) 510-2012, stop into the shop here 15650 W National Ave New Berlin, WI 53151, or use our website’s request form.
Frequently Asked Questions
Slipping, delayed or harsh shifts, grinding noises, burning smells, leaks, or warning lights. We start by checking the fluid level/condition and scanning the transmission module for data and faults.
Fluid breakdown, overheating, worn components, or skipped service. Using the correct OEM-approved fluid and servicing filters/mechatronics where applicable helps prevent many issues.
No. Many fixes are component-level—sensors, solenoids, seals, valve body/mechatronics, or a fluid/filter service. After repairs, we perform any required adaptation resets/relearns so shift quality returns to normal.
Stop-and-go, towing/hauling, aggressive launches, and heat accelerate wear. We tailor service intervals and recommend cooling checks and fluid services based on how the vehicle is used.
We evaluate fluid and look at live data, pressures, and faults; review TSBs and software updates; and follow the OEM fill procedure at the specified temperature (standpipe or scan-tool guided). On units that require it (e.g., dual-clutch/DSG or certain automatics), we service the filter/pan and complete the basic settings/adaptation steps to lock in proper operation.
